'This book is a follow-up to Martin Wigmore's Every letter tells a story, in which he described the life of a rural postman in Leicestershire. There are more tales of the weird and wonderful Post Office staff, and some extraordinary accounts from the lives of 'the most important people', which is the way Martin refers to the customers. We read about incidents that range from the hilarious to the tragic, against the background of a dedicated work force operating in changing times.'
